<br />
<br />WHEREAS, in order to meet the needs of its citizens

<br />in the City of Martinsville, upon which said tank is to be
<br />constructed, said land to be acquired in fee simple consisting
<br />of all that certain lot or parcel of land lying in the City of

<br />because of inability to agree upon the purchase price; now,
<br />therefore,
<br />
<br />BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Martinsville,
